Way to manually program all Esc's simultaniously

[charbot]

Hey, this may have already been considered (and dismissed) but...
I was thinking it would be helpful if there was a simple way to access all the esc's for manual programming (via transmitter sticks.) Something like the current "calibrate throttle" procedure, but instead of the arduino doing a the "high/ low" pulses automatically, it would simple read the throttle input and output that value to all the motor pins. This way, one can change (or reset) all of the configurable parameters, on all of the craft's ESC's, simultaneously.

What do you guys think?

IMO, ESC Calibration is the most fundamental part of setting up a Multi-rotor copter is actually and the foundation for stability. I would invest in one of these.

Good advice, but I was think more about changing the battery settings, timing, etc.; than throttle calibration, per say.

Hello,

I also use something I made like the one from Undcon:

Works perfectly well , be just careful not to wire the positive wire to all positives pin on all ESCs, just one between the receiver and one ESC is fine.

You can also make one out of 2 servo y cables ! If you dont have pin headers !!

I guess Im the only one who has everything soldered directly= servo connectors are removed and no headers.
